THEATRICAL.
The Mather Troupe in sROmeO
and Juliet.,,


The performance of Shakespeare 's
beautiful tragic love poem at the Opera
House last night was witnessed by a
densely packed audience. None of the
great bard's plays is more scintillant
with passages that shine out like
"jewels in an Ethiop's ear" The story
Of the loves Of Romeo and Juliet dates
long before the time OF Shakespeare. II
was extant in the fifteenth century in
a novel tn at was we'll thumbed by all
the romantic ladies and gallant gen.
tlemen Of the court Of Leo the Magni-
ficent, and a free translation was to be
found in private libraries in England
in Elizabeth's time. But it required
the mastery genius Of Shakespeare
to weave the story into an imperish-
able woof, and encase it
in 80 exquisite frame as to present
it to all time as one of the
most attractive and beautiful pictures
ever painted by dramatic art. The
stage setting of the piece last night, in
all the acts, gave the auditor striking
realization OF the quaint and stately
streets and architecture of ancient
Verona. The balcony scene was
simply perfect, and the arrange
ment of the stage in the scene
of the mausolenm, in the last act,
was the best we have ever seen. But
this excellence in stage scenery and
appointments was not had without
the expense of longer "waits" be-
tween acts than was agreeable to the
audience. This might have been due
to the friction, incident to first night.
But it dragged the performance out to
length that tired the patience of
those who live at a distance. Miss
Mather's outlet" is a most ac-
ceptable personation. She vital
ICES the charac er with a warmth
that is intensely glowing. Yet,
while she colors her conception
strongly, it is not too rich nor too
tropically luxuriant in its tone. 1t
overflows with the divine passion of
deep and all-prevailing love. 1t revels
in its intensity, and gives itself up
with an unreserved abandon to all its
blind idolatry of the object of its in
fatuation. She is, indeed, an ideal
Juliet. There is love in her
eyes. in her lips, in her
swelling bosom, in every motion OF
her limbs, in every gesture of her
arms, in every pose and every attitude.
And we must say that she has not
an unworthy "Romeo." MIR. Paulding
is in every respect such lover as
would bring out the strong points OF
even an ordinary actress. Mr.. Le-
vick's "Mercutio'' is worthy of men,
ton as fine piece of acting. The
hour is too late to refer more at length
to this very excellent performance.
The Honeymoon will be presented to-
night. This is one of the finest Eng
lish comedies of the old time that
holds it's place on the stage.

For the distribution of coal imported
from Pennsylvania and Ohio immense
storage wharves are owned at the various
lake points, the coal being carried there
by large vessels carrying from 1000 to
5000 tons each. From these points it is
shipped to the interior by rail. By
these various companies 1,5O0 car loads
of coal can be shipped daily. The an
thracite coal, known to the trade and
consumers as Scranton coal, is delivered
to vessels at Buffalo; and for an ade-
quate supply of bituminous coal, de-
mands are made On all the mining COM

for delivering coal free on board vessels

all of the vast Northwest with which

have only to look to st. Paul and her

OUR RAILROAD BUSINESS

The railroad development of the
Northwest goes hand in hand with its
commercial expansion and always will.
There is a vast extent of territory to the
west and northwest of US, yet in the
infancy of development. This country
is all tributary to st. Paul and Mime
apoliS, and it is being filled up by
thriving population. Railroads will
continue to extend their lines into the
new territory and the st. Paul and
Minneapolis jobbers will continue to
keep their trade right up with the rail-
road extension. The past year has been
an active one in railroad building in the
Northwest. New lines have come into
st. Paul, the old lines have built
branches into new territory, but the
most important of all are the connections
made with the East by way of the Can
adam Pacific and the $500 line, by
which Chicago is left out as an impor-
tant factor in the railroad and CONNER
cial development of this section. leav-
ing to the Twin cities the commercial

1887.

The year of 1887 has been one of re-
markable prosperity for the TWIN
CITIES and the entire NORTHWEST.
The effect of the financial and industrial
depression in other parts of the coun-
try has not been felt here, or at least it
has not retarded the growth of the two
great cities whose development has
been the marvel of the century. The
evidences OF the prosperity of our me-
tropoles during the year 1887 are fully
presented in the statistical matter con-
tanned in this issue of the GLOBE. The
reader is earnestly invited to carefully
examine these statistics and satisfy him.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The GLOBE extends to its patrons its
first Christmas greeting from its new
home. Since last the merry Christmas
time rolled around we have moved out
of the old house into the new. But the
change has not disturbed our relations
with our friends. Those who were
friends of the GLOBE last Christmas are
still its friends, and thousands more
have been added to the list. The friends
who came to see US in the old quarters
have received just as cordial welcome
to our new home.
The GLOBE has shared in the univer-
sal prosperity which has smiled upon
the Northwest during the year that is
just slipping away from US, and we
have reason to rejoice more than ever
that our lot has been cast among peo-
pie who give such generous recognition
of the efforts we have been making to
promote their welfare and to upbuild
their interests. What we have been
and what we have done in the past is
surest index to what the GLOBE will be
and what the GLOBE will do in the fut-
ure.
4 merry Christmas to all the GLOBES
readers, and to one and all we wish
many happy returns of a day which is
the anniversary celebration of the birth
of Him whose mission it was to go
about and do good.

REAL ESTATE.

The same conservatism which charac-
terizes all other business departments is
plainly visible in the real estate transac-
tons of the Twin Cities. The real estate
field affords finer opportunity for the
entrance of fictitious element than al
most any other, and yet in the face of
such an opportunity that element is con-
spicuously absent in the real estate
transactions in st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. The increase in the value of real
estate is in Legitimate proportion to the
growth of the two cities. There has
been no booming and no cornering. Our
figures show an enormous business
during the year and wonderful in
crease over any preceding year, yet
every deal that has been made has been
a fair, square transaction, without
effort or purpose on the part of the deal
ers to do else than a strictly legitimate
business

OUR JOBBING INTERESTS.

The tale of our commercial prosperity
is told in the statistics relating to the
jobbing trade. With the sales in st.
Paul alone, aggregating in round num-
bers s1OO,OOO,OO0, being an average in
crease of 25 per cent over the business
of last year, we need go no further in
an investigation of our commercial pros
poets to find assurance of the solid basis
upon which they rest. And yet our
commercial expansion has hardly begun.
1t is merely in the budding.

BANKING CENTER.

1t is but natural that the banking in
terestS of the Twin Cities should keep
pace with their railroad and CONNER
cial progress. Here is the money center
of the Northwest. The increase in the
amount of exchanges. as shown by our
statistical table, is sufficient evidence
that Eastern capitalists recognize this
city to be the financial headquarters of
the West. The Solidity of our banks is
the best indication of their prosperity.
There is, perhaps, no city in the world
whose banking business is conducted on
sounder business principles and regu-
lated by more conservative methods
than govern st. Pauls banking institu-
lions

than any mere theories, whether con-
current, as in this case, or otherwise;
for intelligent travelling statesmen, who
come into daily personal contact with
their customers, scattered over large
area of country, are not likely to be
mistaken in their conclusions as to
which points trade is tending. And
there is no indication of any causes
likely to arise for many years to come
to change this current of affairs.
To the westward there is no point as
yet coming into such prominence as to
lead unprecedented minds to the belief
that at least for generation to come
st. Paul need fear it as a rival. Ii any
man could to-day point out unerringly
the tOwn-if there is such an One--that
fifty years hence will stand in the way
of st. Paul as st. Paul does now to Chi
cagO our real estate friends would cap

Besides it is safe to say there will be but
few railroads built to the west of us that
will not lead to st. Paul" AS to facil-
tiles for receiving goods, there have
been marked advantages added during
the year, some of which have thus far
only given an earnest of what is certain
to follow. And few cities in the coun-
try are now so well situated in this vital
respect.
In the wonderful progress made by
st. Paul in the last five years in manu-
featuring, building railroads, blocks of
business houses and miles of residences,
the wholesale interests which from the
first have been of the most Importance,
have not lost their relative rank. Nor
is this likely to change in the future,
for as the city grows in other ways, and
the vast resources of the Northwest are
developed. the wholesale interests will

The days of large profits and CORE

that will follow this line the closest.

OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT.

AS valuable Christmas present to It's
readers the GLOBE surrenderS a large
portion of its editorial space to-day to a
number of prominent gentlemen of this
city who have taken this opportunity
to give opinions concerning subjects on
which they are well posted and which
are of the utmost Importance to the
community. Mr.. Jockey, of the Ger
man-American bank, discusses the finaE-
cial situation in exceedingly clear
style. Mr.. KIRK, prominent jObber
of the city, follows in al interesting al
ticle on our commercial pros
poets, and he in turn is followed
by Mr.. STONE, whose opportunities
for knowing something of the city's
growth are equal to any ones. Mr.. OP-
PENHEIM talks about the packing inter-
ests, while Mr.. MUNGER gives a pleas
ant dissertation on music. Mr.. VAN
SLYKE seeks to impress upon our peo-
pie the necessity for building Touring
mills, while Mr.. SAUNDERS gives his
views on st. Paul as a coal center.
There is probably not a person in the
entire Northwest who doesn't know Jo-
sEPH Mickey, of the Boston store, and
his article on the retail trade will be
read by everybody with the greatest in
terest. If there is an individual in the
world who can tell all about ice palaces
and their benefit, it is DANIEL r.

on live subject. In his Characteristic
ally terse style, President HILL. of the

The following article is
MANUFAC- from the pen of the
rUpINc president of the Con-
= tractors and Builders
IN ST. PAUL.Board of Trade of st.
PAUL.
The history of the development of in
dustrial pursuits has been remarkably
short. The wonder of this breyity of
history is, however, eclipsed by the mag
nitude of achievement. The vast strides
of the commercial interests of this me-
tropolis would naturally be followed by
manufacturing enterprises, but it was
scarcely to be expected that this sister
industry would keep full pace with the
older and stronger one.
In 1880 the manufactures were in
significant in number and extent, and
when general trade received new i'm
petus, as it did about 1882, some rather
timid efforts were made to encourage
the establishment of others. Small re-
suits were at first obtained. but from
year to year the number of factories
established gradually increased, gain
ing strength in number and extent, and
we now learn that, whereas the manu-
featured products for the year 1880
amounted to only s1O,S5S, $50, the
output of the thousand and over
manufacturing establishments now in
existence here will amount for the cur
rent year to about $50, 200, 900; and this
in face of the fact that many of the
largest of these establishments have so
recently been completed as to have
hardly yet got fairly under way.
This has been year of great results
in the manufacturing line, as over 100
new concerns have been founded or
moved into st. Paul during that period,
and they are mostly in lines heretofore
but i'll represented, if at all. They are,
almost without exception, establish
ments requiring large capital and en-
ploying many wOrkmen. 1t is safe to
estimate that $4,000 persons have been,
or will be, added to the population. as
these new factories will employ in the
aggregate nearly 1900 men.
There are yet many lines of manufact-
ure unrepresented, and it seems impoS-
sible to conceive of any well-managed
factory producing an article of neces-
sity that would not prosper in
st. Paul., for the vast terri
tory to be supplied is becoming
more thickly settled yearly; the raw
material for many lines of goods is found
in abundance near at hand; men can
live as economically and with far
better prospect of perfect health for
themselves and families here than in
almost any other portion of our broad
domain. The freight to the sections
tributary TO our city is. of course, much
less than from the Eastern factory,
while the demand is steadily grow
ing one.
From the best information attainable,
it is believed that the output from each
branch of manufacture established here
has increased during the past year from
20 to 25 per cent, which would surely In

A commencing With 1891.
when st. Paul had pop
ulation of IL 900, and fol-
GROWTH. lowing the gen eral rise in
real estate values to 1885,
when the city showed population Of
$4,000, we find that both business and
residence property has increased three
times in price-simply the ratio of the
increase in population. From 1885 to
1887 the probable increase in st. Paul
has been 10000, and we find prices are
now 90 per cent higher than in 1885,
Showing that real estate III st. Paul has
not been advanced by speculation any
faster than the natural growth of the
city in population, wealth and business
would warrant. The year 1887 has
added 1000 buildings, costing eleven
million dollars, to the city. st. Paul
will always be the great banking
and distributing center for a terri
tory larger than the Middle states,
and it has made greater strides
in the direction of manufacturing in
1887 than in any three previous years.
Look at the three or four large and
tlourishing suburbs that had not been
started Jan. 1, 1887. which will. COM
bined. add many thousands in pOpula-
ton and CORRESPONDENCE to the wealth
of our city. Take, for instance, North
st. Paul, Gladstone, st. Paul Park and
South st. Paul. The three first had not
one building year ago, but together
they have expended Sl,O00,Oo0 in build
ings in the past seven months, and
there is no doubt that 1888 will see very
large and prosperous towns in each of
these places. Why? Largely because
it has been demonstrated that ST. Paul
is one of the best locations in the United
States for the manufacture of articles
in which hard woods are used. We
have better, more and cheaper timber
at our very doors than any other city
that can be named. Manufacturers are
beginning to find this out, and are com-
ing here in increased numbers yearly.
The census of 1890 will show ST. Paul
with 100000 people, and property values
will keep pace with it. Values are low,
our people conservative, and property is
safe
